Well yes there is an element of truth in that statement, but to walk away believing fog was the only cause is to miss much of what that accident can teach the aviation community.
Northbeach.........................it wasn't 'my' statement just a simple cut and paste from a site on the web. If you have any issues or complaints then please direct them in that direction. With all due respect, not being the author means I have no control over the content
